Some HP BIOS has dummy WMI 0x05 cmd and it causes wireless set cmd to fail.
This patch fixes the problem by detecting "2009 BIOS or later" flag which
determines whether WMI 0x1b is supported and is used to replace WMI 0x05.

Some BIOS versions/Vaio models apparently ship with two nearly identical
functions to handle backlight related controls.
The only difference seems to be:
If (LEqual (BUF1, 0x40))
{
Store (0x40, P80H)
Store (BUF2, Local0)
- And (Local0, One, Local0)
+ And (Local0, 0x03, Local0)
Store (Local0, ^^H_EC.KLPC)
}
Avoid erroring out on initialization and messing things up on cleanup
for now since we never call into these methods with anything different
than 1 or 0.
This issue was found on a Sony VPCSE1V9E/BIOS R2087H4.

All my testing has been on laptops with a hw killswitch, so to be on the
safe side disable rfkill functionality on models without a hw killswitch for
now. Once we gather some feedback on laptops without a hw killswitch this
decision maybe reconsidered.

Instead when hw-blocked always write 1 to the blocked bit for the radio in

This is necessary for 3 reasons:
1) To apply sw_state changes made while hw-blocked
2) To set all the blocked bits for hw-switch controlled radios to 1 when the
switch gets changed to off, this is necessary on some models to actually
turn the radio status LEDs off.
3) On some models non hw-switch controlled radios will have their block bit
cleared (potentially undoing a soft-block) on hw-switch toggle, this
restores the sw-block in this case.

On machines with a hardware switch, the blocking settings can not be changed
through a Fn + wireless-key combo, so there is no reason to read back the
blocking state from the BIOS.
Reading back is not only not necessary it is actually harmful, since on some
machines the blocking state will be cleared to all 0 after a wireless switch
toggle, even for radios not controlled by the hw-switch (yeah firmware bugs).
This causes "magic" changes to the sw_state. This is inconsistent with other
rfkill drivers which preserve the sw_state over a hw kill on / off.

The query callback should only update the hw_state, see the comment in
net/rfkill/core.c in rfkill_set_block, which is its only caller.
rfkill_set_block will modify the sw_state directly after calling query so
calling set_sw_state is an expensive NOP.

The rfkill functionality was removed from the dell-laptop driver because it
was causing problems on various non Latitude models, and the blacklist kept
growing and growing. In the thread discussing this Dell mentioned that they
only QA the rfkill acpi interface on Latitudes and indeed there have been
no blacklist entries for Latitudes.
Note that the blacklist contained no Vostros either, and most Vostros have
a hardware switch too, so we could consider supporting Vostros with a
hardware switch too.

Without rfkill functionality in dell-laptop I have the following problems:
-If the hardware radio switch is set to disable the radio, then userspace
will still think it can use wireless and bluetooth.
-The wwan / 3g modem cannot be soft blocked without the dell-laptop rfkill
functionality
I know the rfkill functionality was removed from the dell-laptop driver because
it caused more problems then it fixed, and the blacklist for it was growing out
of control.
But in the thread discussing this Dell mentioned that they only QA the rfkill
acpi interface on Latitudes and indeed there have been no blacklist entries
for Latitudes. Therefor I would like to bring the rfkill functionality back
only for Latitudes. This patch is a straight-forward revert. The next patch
in this set will drop the blacklist and replace it with a Latitude check.
This reverts commit a6c2390cd6d2083d27a2359658e08f2d3df375ac.

The VSX MSR bit in the user context indicates if the context contains VSX
state. Currently we set this when the process has touched VSX at any stage.
Unfortunately, if the user has not provided enough space to save the VSX state,
we can't save it but we currently still set the MSR VSX bit.
This patch changes this to clear the MSR VSX bit when the user doesn't provide
enough space. This indicates that there is no valid VSX state in the user
context.
This is needed to support get/set/make/swapcontext for applications that use
VSX but only provide a small context. For example, getcontext in glibc
provides a smaller context since the VSX registers don't need to be saved over
the glibc function call. But since the program calling getcontext may have
used VSX, the kernel currently says the VSX state is valid when it's not. If
the returned context is then used in setcontext (ie. a small context without
VSX but with MSR VSX set), the kernel will refuse the context. This situation
has been reported by the glibc community.
Based on patch from Carlos O'Donell.

Up until now we have only used cpu_to_chip_id() in the topology code,
which is only used on SMP builds. However my recent commit a4da0d5
"Implement arch_get_random_long/int() for powernv" added a usage when
SMP=n, breaking the build.
Move cpu_to_chip_id() into prom.c so it is available for SMP=n builds.
We would move the extern to prom.h, but that breaks the include in
topology.h. Instead we leave it in smp.h, but move it out of the
CONFIG_SMP #ifdef. We also need to include asm/smp.h in rng.c, because
the linux version skips asm/smp.h on UP. What a mess.

I encountered following issue:
[ 0.283035] ibmvscsi 30000015: couldn't initialize event pool
[ 5.688822] ibmvscsi: probe of 30000015 failed with error -1
which prevents the storage from being recognized, and the machine from
booting.
After some digging, it seems that it is caused by commit 4886c399da
as dma_mask pointer in viodev->dev is not set, so in
dma_set_mask_and_coherent(), dma_set_coherent_mask() is not called
because dma_set_mask(), which is dma_set_mask_pSeriesLP() returned EIO.
While before the commit, dma_set_coherent_mask() is always called.
I tried to replace dma_set_mask_and_coherent() with
dma_coerce_mask_and_coherent(), and the machine could boot again.

Commit fba2369e6ceb (mm: use vm_unmapped_area() on powerpc architecture)
has a bug in slice_scan_available() where we compare an unsigned long
(high_slices) against a shifted int. As a result, comparisons against
the top 32 bits of high_slices (representing the top 32TB) always
returns 0 and the top of our mmap region is clamped at 32TB
This also breaks mmap randomisation since the randomised address is
always up near the top of the address space and it gets clamped down
to 32TB.

When reading from the dispatch trace log (dtl) userspace interface, I

00000050 00 00 00 00 10 00 13 50 80 00 00 00 00 00 d0 32
The problem is in scan_dispatch_log() where we call dtl_consumer()
but bail out before incrementing the index.
To fix this I moved dtl_consumer() after the timebase comparison.

Pull powerpc LE updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
"With my previous pull request I mentioned some remaining Little Endian
patches, notably support for our new ABI, which I was sitting on
making sure it was all finalized.
The toolchain folks confirmed it now, the new ABI is stable and merged
with gcc, so we are all good. Oh and we actually missed the actual
Kconfig switch for LE so here it is, along with a couple more bug
fixes.
I have more fixes but not related to LE so I'll send them as a
separate pull request tomorrow, let's get this one out of the way.
Note that this supports running user space binaries using the new ABI,
but the kernel itself still needs to be built with the old one. We'll
bring fixes for that after -rc1.
Here's Anton log that goes with this series:
This patch series adds support for the new ABI, LPAR support for
H_SET_MODE and finally adds a kconfig option and defconfig.
ABIv2 support was recently committed to binutils and gcc, and should
be merged into glibc soon. There are a number of very nice
improvements including the removal of function descriptors. Rusty's
kernel patches allow binaries of either ABI to work, easing the
transition"

The pcie_portdrv .probe() method calls pci_enable_device() once, in
pcie_port_device_register(), but the .remove() method calls
pci_disable_device() twice, in pcie_port_device_remove() and in
pcie_portdrv_remove().
That causes a "disabling already-disabled device" warning when removing a
PCIe port device. This happens all the time when removing Thunderbolt
devices, but is also easy to reproduce with, e.g.,
"echo 0000:00:1c.3 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pcieport/unbind"
This patch removes the disable from pcie_portdrv_remove().

This reverts commit ea1e7ed33708c7a760419ff9ded0a6cb90586a50.
Al points out that while the commit *does* actually create a separate
slab for the page->ptl allocation, that slab is never actually used, and
the code continues to use kmalloc/kfree.
Damien Wyart points out that the original patch did have the conversion
to use kmem_cache_alloc/free, so it got lost somewhere on its way to me.
Revert the half-arsed attempt that didn't do anything. If we really do
want the special slab (remember: this is all relevant just for debug
builds, so it's not necessarily all that critical) we might as well redo
the patch fully.

d4019f0a92ab "cpufreq: move freq change notifications to cpufreq core"
added code to the cpufreq core to print an error if a cpufreq driver's
.target() function returned an error. This exposed the fact that Tegra's
cpufreq driver returns an error when it is ignoring requests due to the
system being suspended.
Modify Tegra's .target() function not to return an error in this case;
this prevents the error prints. The argument is that since the suspend
hook can't and doesn't inform the cpufreq core when its requests will
be ignored, there's no way for the cpufreq core to squelch them, so it's
not an error for the requests to keep coming. This change make the Tegra
driver consistent with how the Exynos handles the same situation. Note
that s5pv210-cpufreq.c probably suffers from this same issue though.

Note that pmds[i] is simply uninitialized at that point...
Granted, it's very hard to hit (you need split page locks *and*
kmalloc(sizeof(spinlock_t), GFP_KERNEL) failing), but the code is
obviously bogus.
Introduced by commit 09ef4939850a ("x86: add missed
pgtable_pmd_page_ctor/dtor calls for preallocated pmds")

I've finally tracked down why my CR signal-unwind test case still
fails on little-endian. The problem turned to be that the kernel
installs a signal trampoline in the vDSO, and provides a DWARF CFI
record for that trampoline. This CFI describes the save location
for CR:
rsave (70, 38*RSIZE + (RSIZE - CRSIZE))
which is correct for big-endian, but points to the wrong word on
little-endian. This is wrong no matter which ABI.
In addition, for the ELFv2 ABI, we should not only provide a CFI
record for register 70 (cr2), but for all CR fields separately.
Strictly speaking, I guess this would mean providing two separate
vDSO images, one for ELFv1 processes and one for ELFv2 processes (or
maybe playing some tricks with conditional DWARF expressions).
However, having CFI records for the other CR fields in ELFv1 is not
actually wrong, they just will be ignored. So it seems the simplest
fix would be just to always provide CFI for all the fields.

With the little endian support merged, we can add the
CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN kernel config option.

The kernel doesn't build correctly using the ELFv2 ABI. This patch
ensures that the ELFv1 ABI is used when building a kernel with an
ELFv2 enabled compiler.

For the ELFv2 ABI, the hander is the entry point, not a function descriptor.
We also need to set up r12, and fortunately the fast_exception_return
exit path restores r12 for us so nothing else is required.
